Inside the CGNU Building

Once through the narrow opening in the roof we had to take great care to avoid all the existing pipe work.

Our choice of where we could open the roof was very restricted.

We had to fit between the concrete beams supporting the roof and the chiller was too large to manoeuvre once inside.

Everything had to be in the right place - and it was.

Into Place - in the Right Place.

We were able to place the chiller almost exactly in place because of our experience.

Final adjustments were made inside by the designated foreman - one of our most experienced team members.

Working with the people around you and the team at street level, who can't see what is happening inside, demands prompt instructions and prompt actions.

Final Placement

Finally in place really meant final, excessive movement could damage the permanent foundations we had laid to support the chiller.

The foundations laid had to be stable and level.

We had to ensure the chiller rested at the designated points on the foundations, once in place it stays in place.

The designated foreman must bear in mind the time lag between instruction given and instruction completed.
